Question 4 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

Which explanation best connects species migration to increased retained energy in Earth's climate system?

Answer
A
Earth's orbit changes each season, leading to longer migrations.
B
Warming temperatures shift habitat ranges beyond some species’ tolerance, causing migration.
C
Cloud cover increases UV exposure, triggering behavioral changes in animals.
D
Ocean acidification causes land species to move toward coastlines where temperatures are cooler.

Explanation

When Earth’s climate retains more energy, temperatures rise and habitats shift. Species may migrate to areas with conditions they can tolerate when their current habitats become too warm. This makes B, “Warming temperatures shift habitat ranges beyond some species’ tolerance, causing migration,” the best connection.
